Panjrayat

The Panjrayat refers to the five distinct communities within Sikhism, including Sikhs, Hindus, Muslims, Christians, and those of other faiths. This concept emphasizes unity and coexistence among diverse religious groups, recognizing the shared humanity and spiritual goals beyond specific beliefs. Historically, the Panjrayat played a role in community organization and religious affairs, promoting inclusivity and mutual respect. Today, it symbolizes the Sikh tradition of embracing diversity, fostering harmony, and encouraging followers to uphold equality among all people regardless of their faith.
